The Most Amazing Shuttle Pic Yet
 

This is subtle... but very cool. Be sure to read the article.

ISS, Shuttle transit the Sun.

Wow, this is awesome :).

Wow, that is wondefully impressive. :D

O.O that's awesome!
Huge sun is huge.

It's like avatarrr :D

The sun is over 90 million miles away from the shuttle and ISS in that pic, and even then those two things are just small dark specs compared to our closest star. Kinda makes you feel small...

if that makes you feel small, try this:

^^ Astronomy geek! ;) :D

It's hard to believe there's bigger structures in the universe than VY. :)

i remember seeing the scale compared to sun in AF, that was really interesting
i enjoy reading about astronomy but to be honest i just seem to not remember anything about it laugh

:shock: Wow, that is amazing! Beautiful pics :).

That's an amazing capture, very talented. Do know how he actually achieved/timed it?

Tu'te

I remember in a chapel speaking back in High School (I went to a private high school) one speaker came up and has a powerpoint presentation of how big the universe really is... something thats incredibly hard to comprehend. It's all so amazing

And at first that picture didn't look real, looked like a CGI image... but its not. How incredible

Nice picture :)

Makes me sad though... What we could have accomplished by now, and instead we just have a few people sitting up there trying to convince themselves and us they are doing something worthwhile :'(

What do you mean?
